What the KasapaFMOnline Apology to Kaya Adwoa Forson should have read

On the morning of
Monday August 8, 2016, we published a story on Ghanaian Swimmer Kaya Adwoa
Forson.

On the morning of
Monday August 8, 2016, we IRRESPONSIBLY and APPALLINGLY published a story that referred
to the TALENTED 14 YEAR OLD Ghanaian Swimmer Kaya Adwoa Forson, as SEXY.

The headline referred to
her person as ‘Sexy’. We have since corrected the error.

Our UNFORTUNATE HEADLINE
indeed reflects how low we have sunk in performing our duties as journalists.
If sexiness could win Olympic medals perhaps we could have an excuse for being the
PERVERTS you have rightly pointed us out to be.

Kasapafmonline.comwishes to apologize to Adwoa Forson and all who were hurt
by how the headline was captioned. The story was in no way seeking to objectify
her person.

KASAPAFMONLINE.COMREALLY HAS NO EXCUSE. This
is just PLAIN STUPIDITY and an ABSOLUTE DISREGARD for OUR RESPONSIBILITY
TOWARDS CHILDREN. We did not only
objectify Adwoa Forson, we also effectively condoned inappropriate sexual behaviour
towards Junior High School PUPILS.

We wish Adwoa Forson
well at the Olympics. As started this morning, we are celebrating all members
of Team Ghana at the ongoing Games.

ADWOA
FORSON is only 14 years old but she is already making Ghana PROUD. We as fully grown
adults have failed at our jobs and fucked up Ghana even further.
